1: Introduction into my new life

"Orrrrvaaaa! Orrrvvvvvaaaa--" The same familiar annoying voice of Mindy Claire echoed through the small house they lived in. "Get your butt off that comfy bed would ya!" She yells annoyingly with her high-pitched screeching tone no one ever likes. Mindy Claire-- the woman she detests her whole life, the woman she wishes to kill one day but can't because of the law. If only there was a way to shut the lousy trumpet without killing her that would have been helpful.

For many years since she started living with her uncle's mistress, Orva had tried so hard to find better jobs all over Beverly Hills to no avail but she believes what little money earned from her hard work would be enough to sustain her for a certain period of time, and when she does get that dream job, there would be a valid reason to leave Donald's pit of hell. As if the devil himself was aware his little niece was soon finding a way out of his dungeons he decided to make life a living hell for her that way she won't be able to think of escaping. But Orva was not the kind of girl that easily gives up on anything, she was a fighter and has always been just like her mother.

A sudden memory of her mother flashed through her mind it made her heart clench with hurt. If only Orva could help her mother or take away the hurt and pain she had gone through because of her maybe Donald won't have rights over the poor girl, but Orva wasn't going to let everything stay this way, not even her own uncle will stop her from leaving one day.

"My name is not orrrrvaaaa! it's Orva… Bitch." Orva whispered the cuss word very low under her breath. It wasn't a good sign getting into trouble with Mindy early in the morning so it's better to stay away from her than listen to her crack. A lot had happened in the past which severe whatever ties and communication they had. Both females could not stand one another neither were they nice to each other. Only a few words like 'morning… evening… whatever' were passed between them with no real conversation attached. Well except for emergencies which is the only thing that brings them together 'temporarily' and Orva loved it that way, it made everyone know their limits and boundaries but still, it wasn't enough to keep Mindy Claire off her table. The young mistress to her demonic uncle became worse than a migraine, even she was worst than a thief. If she wasn't taking her tops she would take her saving, then if she wasn't taking any of them she would steal her precious belongings and Orva was positive Donald was responsible and aware of Mindy's sly acts.

"Whatever go take a shower and get going… to school!" Mindy's muffled yell continued behind the closed door.

"You know I can't go to school Mindy?" Orva sat up from her bed and stared angrily at her bedroom door. She knew what comes out of the blonde's mouth without brains would be a blunt insult. Mindy was a sassy disrespectful young lady with mummy issues, she care nothing about anyone and will do anything for money which includes dating her uncle who could or can father her.

"Oops my bad, I forgot you are broke as hell, you can't afford school fees or allowances. Aw poor you." Mindy scoffed mockingly, a sour laughter coming from the back of her throat. She made a few rude remarks at Orva before walking away with one last word. "You are poor." 

Instead of feeling hurt and crying her eyes out, Orva did not let Mindy's words get to her, it was like a normal routine she hears every day, and they don't bother her anymore. But Mindy was right, she was right Orva is a poor young adult in need of money only that neither Mindy nor Donald knew the reasons Orva needed that much cash. Orva still kept her hopes and dedication to her mother's cafe business, she plans to get back the small cafe shop her mother left behind before things took a rather painful turn with her uncle. Donald Nigel the devil in disguise- forced Orva into selling the last family business that carried memories of her parents and trapped her into working in his fancy restaurant. 

Orva wasn't sure what happened to her father or what really killed him. The news carried different news while she and her mother were told he died from a head-on collision accident.  He was declared missing two days after his trip to Miami which he didn't make, and since then it has been a burden in the heart of both mother and daughter to know what happened on that day. Candy Nigel, Orva's mother later died of an heart attack, few years after her father's death leaving the young adolescent to her step-uncle who made life not worth living, Orva would have to care and feed the irresponsible guardian she was put under instead of the other way round.

Sometimes Orva would ask herself 'who is the guardian between us?' why did her step-uncle insure her life to a deranged mess who can't even watch after herself, it was crystal clear both Orva and 

Mindy hated each other and their everyday lives have always been from fry pan to fire. Mindy never worked or do anything useful in the house instead she let Orva do all the chores including feeding them both despite receiving allowances from Donald.

Orva was now responsible for herself, Mindy, and other expenses not covered by her uncle because when something goes wrong then she would have to face her uncle which does not always end up good. Orva hasn't given up yet on her goals, she is still waiting for the right moment that will be the best time to leave after she had gotten what she wanted then she will disappear from the face of the earth unknown to anyone she existed. For years these plans have been living in her mind as a fantasy that may never come true.

With Donald monitoring her every move it will prove hard to avoid him. Who knew what the old man was up to or the pain he caused to his political status and owning one of the best famous restaurants in Beverly Hills 'Mark's Candy' Donald had connections and money he could use to control Orva as his puppet but not enough if Orva can come up with a brilliant plan that exceeds her uncle's plans.

Orva groaned knowing she had to prepare for the worst job she hated the most. Having no choice she got up from her small bed and went to have her bath, she took extra thirty minutes to get ready, this time she did not bother about the time or the lectures she was going to receive from her uncle, enough with the lectures and insults it was time she said something and stopped being quiet.

"You better hurry before Donald gets your ass off that bed and straight to the restaurant!" Mindy yelled from the bottom stairs this time and faded away somewhere in the house in search of something useless.

"I'm coming!" Orva yelled angrily.

'always acting like she owns this place as if she was better than anyone. huh-- she isn't any better than a one-night stand' Orva muttered and huffed in annoyance. Not wasting much time and energy Orva stepped into the tiny bathroom at the corner of the room to gaggle some water and took a cold shower later. Without much room for the two of them or enough privacy there is one thing Orva was grateful for, having her own bathroom. She didn't care the rooms were small and choked up as long as she didn't have to share her personal space with the drunk then she is fine.

After taking her bath and drying her body, Orva stepped out of the bathroom to get dressed in the same outfit she wore almost every day, a blue sleeveless apron around the waist and a short peach dress which she detest, it was so common for her that it became her signature cloth making no time to wear something different. After giving the old uniform the stare of hell like she always do everyday Orva went ahead to change into them.

"Ready for another torture… in the hell I am living in." Orva grumbled under her breath and took her leave.
